I've never really been unhappy with any of my boxes so I'm excited to see what I get.
On another note, I just hit 500 points!
Wondering if I should save or splurge...
Nothing is really standing out to me right now so I will probably wait.
You know. I was incredibly angry at my BB last month. First, I hated the bar soap--so much so that the kid in me wanted to throw it across the room--what a cheap, crappy sample! Second, I found out about a product they should not have sent to me if they were really paying attention to my profile. But then I kind of started thinking like you. I don't really want food from BB, but I do LOVE tea. (Actually, I kind of like Larabar too, but not all that much). The Stila gloss or Eyeko liner would be nice to try, and either one would make the $10 box a good buy. Also, while I do NOT have 500 points at the moment, I do like the point system they have. I bought the full size Stainiac and paid only $8 for it with my $10 discount and no shipping. Yes, for all my anger about June, BB does have a few good points.
So while I've been thinking about cancelling all day, I'm leaning towards keeping it another month or two now. I don't mean to be one of those grumpy people that everyone hates, I just felt burnt badly last month. I wasn't super thrilled to begin with, but as everyone has said, once you compare your box to others, that's when you can really start to hate it. I compare on Youtube before coming here, by the way. I really don't think it is reasonable in this day and age to expect that people will *not* share and compare boxes, though. BB sure knows it is happening, which makes it all the more puzzling that they continue to send out such a wide range of boxes with a wide range of values.
The worst thing about last month, though, was how they handled my complaint. They never really said they were sorry and they never took *any* responsibility for ignoring my profile. I know--I can hold a grudge like nobody's business. (What? No stubborn donkey icon? Drat!) Anyway, I am trying to get past it. I just wish they would pay attention to our profiles--especially things that will not change like our skin coloring. And I wish they would make sure all boxes had a certain range of value so if you don't get the big full size item, you get better quality, larger, or a greater number of deluxe samples to make up for it. I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty convinced my box was the absolute cheapest they sent out. I'm not usually hung up on monetary value, but if I hate the box in the first place, it is kind of a secondary way to judge the box. And when you feel your box was both the worst one (as in you don't like the products in the first place) *as well as* being the cheapest, it isn't a good feeling. All in all, last month BB made me feel like a fool for signing up with them in the first place. No one wants to feel like a fool.
But enough. (Sorry. No beating a dead horse icon either.

I'll try to look to the future. I know I won't be thrilled with everything in every box. (I'm even kind of expecting that I will dislike the 5 senses box for the hear it, smell it, and taste it senses). But provided the box is even ok, I'll try to stick it out until August. Fingers crossed the boxes (and attention to our profiles) gets better.
